A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Military skins - WWI

Description: This repaint for the Vertigo SPAD VII for FSX/P3D represents the aircraft flown by Louis de Diesbach, who volunteered in September 1913 (Arras, N° 218) and entered with the 21st Dragons in Saint-Omer (October 2, 1913). He became a Sergeant (April 1915) and transferred to aviation school to qualify as a pilot pupil (June 17, 1916). He passed as pilot on a Farman (October 1, 1916). Combat record of Louis de Diesbach: 5 approved air victories; wounded in aerial combat on SPAD VII (May 3, 1917). His wounds were rated at 100 % and he rehabilitated to 80%, but could not continue his flying career.

Squadron N 15/SPA 15 was identified with the "Helmet of Bayard", i.e. a helmet of a knight with a long plume. This emblem was selected in 1916 by Captain Rene Marie Joseph Turin (Brest 7.2.1879 - Vermandovillers 6.9.1916) and was sometimes painted on the fuselages in white, black, or red.
